The Three Stripes' Skateboarding division has returned for Spring '17, kicking on from where the exceptional Winter '16 collection left off. A host of our favourite styles, as well as some lesser seen ones, have arrived to provide the skateboarding performance and clean style we've been craving. The Adi-Ease, which played a starring role in the success of adidas' Autumn and Winter '16 collections, has arrived again this season - this time in White/Core Black/White.
The upper of the shoe has been cut from a durable and sturdy white canvas, which features an all-over text print saying "the brand with the three stripes" in a variety of different languages. That forms the base of the upper, and on top of that we see white leather Three Stripes on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe and white metal lace eyelets. The only other noticeable aspect of the upper is the black adidas label on the tongue which features a large Trefoil logo - nothing takes away from the classy print that is clearly the focal point. The midsole comes in solid white, and the outsole comes in black to mute things to perfection.
The shoe performs just as good as it looks, too, thanks to the incorporation of some of adidas' best skate technology. ADITUFF wraps around the front of the midsole, enhancing durability and featuring a texture to help with controlling flip tricks. Inside the shoe, the fixed-in moulded PU sockliner offers incredible cushioning and comfort, and board feel isn't sacrificed thanks to the vulcanized outsole which features a herringbone traction pattern and numerous pivot points.
Adidas Skateboarding's incredible Spring '17 footwear collection, packed with great skate-optimised technology and some incredibly stylish colourways, is available online here at Attitude Inc. and in our Colchester and Ipswich stores.
